Jamie Lauren’s interest in the culinary arts started at a relatively young age, when she spent evenings in the kitchen cooking with her parents, although at the time she had no intention of becoming a chef. From these humble beginnings mixing meatloaf & frying chicken cutlets in Manhattan, she rose to become one of San Francisco Chronicle’s “Rising-Star Chefs” in 2005. Later she was selected as the sole Bay Area "Cheftestant" on season 5.
